Alice Cooper‘s management announced today that Nita Strauss, a highly acclaimed guitarist who previously played with him for several years before leaving to tour with Demi Lovato in fall 2022, will be rejoining his band for his 2023 tour.
The tour, titled “Too Close For Comfort,” will begin in late April in Michigan and run until late September, featuring a new show. Additionally, there will be several stadium shows in August with DEF LEPPARD and MÖTLEY CRÜE, followed by a co-headlining “Freaks On Parade” tour with Rob Zombie in late summer.
Alice comments: “She’s Back! Nita asked for a leave of absence to work with someone else, something I always encourage my band members to do. I like them to challenge themselves and try new things. I’m thankful to my old friend Kane Roberts for stepping up and filling in for her, but she’ll be back with us for the new tour that starts up in late April. It’s going to be great to have her back.”
Nita added: “From the studio to the stage, it’s always an immense honor to make music with Alice Cooper!! I’m very excited to be rejoining the band on the road for the 2023 dates, and so I’ll see you on the road in April. Let the nightmare return!”
